This might be my favorite video, Corax is so underrated!

@Furzkampfbomber Год назад

This might be because most people barely have him on the radar. For some reason, even most channels dedicated to Wh40k lore rarely seem to talk about him, which is sad, because he is such an interesting character. If you ask me, far mor interesting and complex than fan favourites like Rogal Dorn, not that I want to belittle him. Damn, I am a Wh40k fan and lore nerd for ages now and even I did not appreciate Corax as I should have, until watching The Amber King's excellent 1.25 h long video about him. I think (hope) it's okay to mention this channel here, his introduction videos about the Primarchs are quite something and I would suggest watching them to everyone who is interested in the lore.

Corax and the Ravenguard certainly deserve more praise. They are all about doing their job not caring about the Emperor’s attention and being in the spotlight (literally they don’t want that). For all they’ve been through and still being loyalists and staunch defenders, goes to show how well they emulate the stoicism and tactical prowess of their Primarch

There have been sayings that the Raven Guard are a dishonorable Legion compared to the others for their usage of stealth and surgical strikes to win any battle, but it is because of these tactics that allow them to achieve victories from impossible odds.

Who cares about honor when it comes to protecting lives and standing up for liberty? Those defeated by guerilla tactics label them cowardly because they're mad they lost. It's like people that play fighting games then scream how "unfair" their opponents tactics are when they lose.

How do you feel about the raven being more warp entity like now? I always like the raven guard, I prefer the space sharks and the exorcists a bit more but hands down a chapter I feel pull at my heart. The fact they dropped the raptor space marine plot line for these new super space marines will always make me face palm but to keep lore well made would have required Matt ward and gw to be competent.

The Raven Guard was my first introduction to 40k and to quote Rose from Brooklyn Nine -Nine to sum up how I feel about about them ''I've known Corvas and the Raven Guard for a day and a half, but if anything were to happen to them I would kill everyone and then myself.''

@alexfrost2799 Год назад

Raven Guard. The Masters of Stealth and Sabotage. The closest the Space Marines get to real-life Special Operations save for perhaps the Alpha Legion. I've always had a love for these guys simply because of their stealthy, underhanded tactics. To be able to sneak around in what is noisy, bulky power armor is no mean feat, something that only they seem to have mastered. They know how to be smart, silent, and maneuverable. If it weren't for the series of incredibly misfortunes they constantly suffer, I think they would've been the most effective Legion. They are certainly good enough to tango with the Tau, no small feat considering the xenos' advanced weapons and tactics.

I bet ravenguards that can't do the whole wraith slip thing just use the "fog of war" for stealth. If you were a hulking power armored man that could sprint at 55mph and pull off trickshots while jumping and sliding, wouldn't you? Imagine you're a chaos warband fighting the imperial guard and then suddenly a bunch of drop pods pop up and half the ravenguards just start bunnyhopping and pulling off 360 noscopes while the other half find cover snipe your warband, they'd seem like ninjas.

Since other commenters here have already suggested other Wh40k channels, I hope it is okay to mention one as well? Because The Amber King has an excellent. long video that introduces Corvus Corax. I am a Wh40k fan and lore nerd for a long time now and even I never appreciated Corax as I should have until watching this video. He is such an interesting and complex character, much more interesting and complex than fan favourites like Rogal Dorn, for instance. Not that I want to belittle Dorn, to make that clear. For some reason, people rarely have Corax on the radar, since for whatever reason, GW as well as many channels dedicated to Wh40k lore treat him as an orphan and barely mention him.

@adrienwatson2179 Год назад

I feel like they have always been one of the least popular of the loyalist founding legions (everyone loves darks angels and space Wolves, and then blood angels, imperial fists and Ultramarines, even white scars and salamanders I think are more popular. And of course iron hands have been popular more recently due to them being strong competitively. But ravenguard always have been and always will be my favourite.

@genefactor007 Год назад

@@danielward-smith9466 Yeah, I'm really digging the Raven Guard. I've always had a thing for stealthy characters which goes back to Metal Gear, Siphon Filter, and Splinter Cell. The abilities of the Raven Guard just sounds so cool and their history is also damn tragic which gives the legion so much character I think. I have been hearing a lot about the Dark Angels with all the talk about Lion elJonson that's been blowing up in several Warhammer 40k videos. I haven't looked into playing the games so I have no idea how effective the Raven Guard is in that regard. But as someone who has fallen in love with the lore, they are very cool.

@simonoconnor7759 Год назад

I play the loyalist successor chapter the Knights of the Raven. My theory and backstory is that they were formed from a very select group after the Heresy, that of the few remaining Terran born loyalist Ravenguard who lived through the attack on gate 41, the dropsite massacre, and the subsequent scattering of the Legion, and who weren't members of the warrior lodges. This group I figure may have been slighty less than 1000 warriors, and was gladly hived off as a separate chapter, due to their differences with their primogenitor. The Knights eschew stealth, and instead wear brightly polished silver battle plate and crusader pattern helms. They are brutally pragmatic and favour orbital drop assaults.
